West Australian-focused explorer, Accelerate Resources is off to a solid start with its strategy to focus on discovering metals critical for the electrification of global economies. First-pass rock chip sampling at its newly acquired Braeside West manganese project in the prolific Pilbara region has returned high-grade mineralisation from multiple samples, including 55.3 per cent, 53.6 per cent and 48.8 per cent manganese.
A total of 15 samples taken along three previously identified trends and from various outcrops delivered grades of more than 30 per cent manganese. Other high-grade results include 47.7 per cent manganese and 47.0 per cent.
Today’s results confirm our observations and historic database collation. Eight samples returned over 40% Mn with low iron and low silica. Whilst we understand that these results are part of the very early stages of our Manganese Strategy, they are very encouraging as the Company is targeting new manganese discoveries to feed both the lithium-ion battery and steel production sectors.
